Stories from Eric Edmeades’s students

From Invisible to Unmesswithable: My Speaking & Influence Mastery Story I'm a two-time valedictorian from Liberia who skipped one graduation and attempted to skip the other. The reason? A stutter. The very thing I needed most-my voice-would abandon me at the worst moments. For 17 years, I had ideas. Manuscripts…

I came to Mindvalley because I wanted to improve my social media results for my fine jewelry brand, Lisa Robin Jewelry. What surprised me was that Mindvalley didn't just change my business-it reshaped who I am as a creator, as a leader, and as a woman preparing for the next chapter of her life. Social Media Mastery…

Hero Story - From Silenced to Stage Before Speaking & Influence Mastery, I was already a senior RAF Wing Commander and published author… but I was still hiding in plain sight. I could brief, present, and "do PowerPoint", yet my true story... nine Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), breaking generational abuse…

In the midst of taking Speaking and Influence Mastery, I came very close to dying. Early September, I was celebrating the upcoming arrival of a new baby in our cul-de-sac. Days later, COVID hit. Then the rebound. Then pneumonia. But something still wasn't right; I kept getting worse. After two ER visits, I was finally…

At 67, something shifted inside me - a vision, a calling. Not a grand business idea, not a financial goal… but a deep urge to give back to the society that held me, trusted me, and allowed me to become the man I am today. For fifty years, life taught me more than any classroom ever could. Success, mistakes, courage…

Before taking the Speaking & Influence Mastery class, little did I know, I was preparing for one of the biggest milestones of my life- I was about to become an international best-selling author… but I wasn't doing it alone. I was leading 22 other women to become best-selling authors too, through a deeply personal…

I always felt like I had charisma, but I couldn't show it. not on stage, not on social media, and not in my business. As an entrepreneur, the biggest gap was sales: I couldn't confidently sell or influence, even when what I was offering genuinely helped people. I simply didn't know how to express myself in a way that…

Voice of Impact: 5,012 Miles Outside My Comfort Zone "They say riding a bike is something you never forget… Lies. Absolute lies." I relearned that the hard way - in Amsterdam, 5,012 miles from home, flat on the ground with a bruised knee and a very confused Dutch man staring at me. It was my first solo trip out of the…

Before this program, I had huge vision but scattered focus and a ping-ponging brain that struggled to share a compelling story in a concise way. I often second-guessed myself. I knew I was meant for a bigger stage, but I kept dimming my fire and holding back the level of leadership and expression I felt inside. I was…

How Speak and Inspire Helped Me Find My Voice When I joined Speak and Inspire Mastery, I thought I was there to polish my professional skills. I wanted to feel more confident during my weekly BNI presentations and nail my 10-minute feature. But I also gained storytelling skills that helped me connect more deeply with…

A few weeks ago I walked off stage after speaking to around five hundred people. I had no intention of "selling" anything. I simply told the truth, shared a piece of my journey, and wove my book into the leadership lesson. Classic inception. The Mindvalley playbook works when you actually apply it. People cried. People…

My father passed away a few weeks ago. Although I had prepared a typed speech, I decided after 5 minutes to go with the way of speaking that Eric Edmeades had taught us in this class. I dropped my papers, took a deep breath, and looked out into the audience of friends and loved ones assembled for his funeral. And I…
